Gold Fun Review

Lush: Gold Fun Review


Treat your inner child (and your kids) to some good, clean FUN. This multipurpose bar is a soap, shampoo, bubble bath and malleable toy all in one colorful and sweetly fragrant package. Even better? 2.5% of FUN sales are contributed to the LUSH FUNd, supporting charities in Fukushima, Japan that create safe places for children to play outside. *Lush Cosmetics*

I got this as a smaller lush haul in the end of July. I got two gold fun bars because I love the smell of the toffee/caramel scent from lush! The fun bars are 6.95$ for 7.0 oz. of product in a bio-degradeable wrapper. 
This product is a great value for anyone who wants to try lush out, but doesn't have a lot of money to invest in it. it is a 3 in 1 product. 
The 3 products it can be are:
~Shampoo~
~body wash/soap~
~Bubble bath~

you can crubmle this up and run under water for a bubble bath that is greatly scented and last a long time. You can grab a piece to use as a awesome body wash/soap and also as shampoo for your dirty locks of hair. 
I absolutely love this prooduct and will repurchase as often as I can to keep up my stock in the product. plus it's easier on my wallet also. 
A 5/5 and an A++ product!

stay tuned for more lush goodness soon,

Lush Cosmetics: Toothy Tabs in Sparkle

Lush Cosmetics: Toothy Tabs in Sparkle


I got this product in my Lush Life wrapped gift for my birthday. These are portable toothpaste tabs that eliminate plastic packaging and are all around eco-friendly for the user and the world.   This product is vegan. This flavor is made with Lemon, Grapefruit, and Black Pepper. The full size is 40 tabs. or 0.5oz of product and retails for 4.95$. 

The formula is made with sodium bicarbonate, cream of tartar, kaloin, lemon peel, lemon oil, black pepper oil, grapefruit oil, sea salt, and black pepper powder. 

to use: you take a tab, put it in your mouth, and chew on the tab with your front teeth, wet a brush and start brushing your teeth with the mixture in your mouth, brush, spit, wash your mouth out, and enjoy clean teeth!

In my opinion this is a good product, but the taste isn't the greatest. It's great eco wise, and vegan wise, but the taste is slightly lemony and peppery tasting. I'm used to minty flavored toothpastes, that usually burn my mouth bad. With this product there is no minty burn, so it's easier on your mouth, but it doesn't do much for freshening your breath/mouth. I find after 5-10 mins. that my breath is back to normal. 

So I like it, but I'd love a minty one! I will try a mint one next to compare to a normal toothpaste. I don't hate it, but I don't love it!

it gets a c+ and a 3/5

Sparkle Toothy Tabs can be found there, and more Toothy Tabs there. 

Stay tuned for more lush related goodness soon,
Reviews will be up for more lush products soon.

Lush: Ocean Salt

Lush Cosmetics: Ocean Salt Review


I picked up the Lush Ocean Salt in the Lush Life wrapped gift I got at my local lush store for my birthday. My birthday was July 2nd.  I got the small (2.4 oz) pot of Ocean Salt. It is a face and body scrub made with lime juice, avocado butter, and fine and coarse sea salt to exfoliate your skin. 
The ingredients are  fresh and vegetarian.  and I can use this until march 2017. There is vodka, sea salt, grapefruit infusion, avocado butter, coconut oil,seaweed absolute, violet leaf, and lanolin in the mixture. 

The smell is like a margarita and flowers mixed together with a hint of salt. it is not overpowering and is light to not aggravate allergies and sensitive skin. 
This scrub can be a bit much for the face at times, but if you use it gently and don't rub it hard you can exfoliate your face with it. I use this on my face once a week.
 I also use a St. Ives product to exfoliate every other day or so due to my oily/acne prone skin. Especially in the summer time! I get even more oily in the summer and I sweat 50% more. 

I personally love this product a whole lot! I would purchase the big size pot of this, and even subscribe to get one every 60-90 days. The full size pot is 36.00$ for a 8.8 oz pot. 

I love this stuff!!


and here's how it's made: https://youtu.be/n_h6wfPfVYI

It gets a A+ from me, and a 5/5 . 

stay tuned for more beauty goodness soon,
